The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations

Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 1256-1284, August 2026.
This review focuses on predation in ants, showing the wide diversity of cases from solitary foraging to group hunting tactics, as well as the evolution of mandible shape frequently adapted to capture specific prey. Although most ants are generalist feeders, finding their sugary substances directly on plants or indirectly via sap‐sucking insects, some ...
